Content Philosophy

Content which benefits the community (news, rumors, and discussions) is valued over content which benefits only the individual (technical questions, help buying/selling, rants, etc.). This fundamental difference in audience is why we support two communities, r/Apple and r/AppleHelp. If you'd like to view their content together, click here.

The lunatik is neat... I own one, and although it's sort of uncomfortable to wear I kind of liked the idea of it... that is until I saw some one else wearing one and I said to myself, "look at that moron wearing an iPod watch. Wait, I'm also wearing an iPod watch... I'm just as bad as this nerd... hold on, I'm a nerd and this is how others view me too..."

That is referring to the fact that you don't need to be connected for you computer for it to function. Sure, you sync your nano one time to get your music on it. You don't have to have it bluetooth paired to your smartphone all the time.

Shitty article. The galaxy gear works with gs3, gs4, gnote 2, gnote 3, and note 10.1, once all those devices have android 4.3. The iPod nano works with.. Zero. It plays music and is a watch. That's it. This article is so full of bias it's embarrassing

Well technically the Nano works with any device, since it doesn't rely on any other device for things like Music playback, audiobooks, podcasts, pedometers, voice memo, photo albums, calorie tracker, FM radio, etc. while the Gear can't operate without you having to carry 4 Galaxy phones or the tablet.

However, you're right that the Gear does have the advantage of notifications, although it's odd that you can't actually read messages on it considering its costs.

It's part of the Samsung ecosystem, it's a companion device for Samsung devices. Why the fuck can you people not understand this? And it's so hypocritical of you to laugh at samsung for being proprietary considering apple doesn't ever license shit. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves, you're acting like total morons

It's not a companion device though, because it doesn't connect to any device. Who the fuck needs an iPod watch AND a smartphone? If you want to buy just an iPod watch to play music, be my guest. But don't give me that bullshit pseudo-logic of being able to play music without another device. This article is awful and your logic sucks fuck off

Edit: what the fuck are you going on about with needing 4 devices to get a galaxy gear to work? You need only 1. What in the fuck are you talking about, you're delusional

No, you buy a galaxy device FIRST and then this is an after thought, an accessory to it. How hard is that to understand? I own an iPad, an iPhone, and am buying the 5S and iPad 5 on launch day, I hate Samsung products so stop with your useless stereotypes assuming that anybody who can make a logical argument defending a product must be balls deep in marketing

The galaxy gear fully works on exactly zero devices at this time. It was an after thought and the only device that will have the software to run it at launch hasn't been released yet. (galaxy note 3). Yes, software updates will soon remedy this and it will be a non-issue, but it was a rushed event for a rushed product, what do you expect?

That said, I agree with you that the devices should not be compared to one another.

I never said fail. It's a technicality. Don't say things that aren't true maybe? Well...., I guess you could say it DOES work, but just not for consumers yet. But your talking about a number of devices that are technically not supported yet. If you had just said "will" it wouldn't be an issue. It's a stupid argument anyway and I've already wasted enough time on it. Sorry for the stress and/or confusion.

The product is not out yet, there is no reason to make the distinction of "it works with nothing right now". I'll say this again: that would be like saying "wow why would you ever buy an iphone 5C otterbox case? It doesn't even fit any iPhones that are out" on the day of the iPhone 5C launch. Of course not.. Cause the iPhone 5C comes out 10 days later.
